There's no end in sight to any of it.

Yesterday's shot wasn't great for actually showing what these will look like; this one's much more indicative.  Upper left, malachite above gray-brown sand-dune-like jasper; upper right, blue-flash Labradorite over the same jasper, bottom will be rainbow moonstone over Picasso jasper with tiny hematite beneath.

And then he'll move on to the others.

There's no end in sight to any of it.

Today's been a zoo; almost no studio time for him, and no time for any of my work for me. The pace is killing us both, but that's what it's like this time of year. Looking forward to being able to breathe again in a few weeks; I just wish we could have snow with it. Today looked like a change in the weather might be in the offing, but we know better than to believe it until we see it.

We were blessed with a really good sale last week, so the pressure to cover immediate things would have been off in a few days when the payment clears, were it not for the thieves that shoved our account into negatives. But even aside from that bullshit, there's still all the rest, all the stuff we couldn't cover all year because of one catastrophe after another, the taxes that still need to be prepaid, all the January bills that will be here before we know it [which include truck insurance and a whole bunch of business-related expenses that come due once a year, but total well into four figures]. So we still need to make the equivalent of a sale a day now, on average. And he has so much new work!  I'm hoping to pull another late night to get five of them up yet. yeah, I know, I shouldn't, but it has to be done, because the last two years have all but killed us financially, and we're almost out of year. To that end, links are here:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here [somebody got the vacuum! which makes priorities now the thermos and the rugs];
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

And we do still need to make those regular weekly [daily now, really] sales, so please share all of the links. We really do need this to be a better month than what we've had so far this year.
